Englishman was not an obvious candidate to lead them but Swedes pushed Nottingham Forest all the way in 1979 Early in the 1979 European Cup final, Kenny Burns misjudged a long ball and ended up lobbing it up in the air for Jan-Olov Kindvall. He, in turn, attempted to knock the dropping ball over Peter Shilton but the goalkeeper was not as close as he had perhaps anticipated and Shilton ended up catching it simply. The chance was gone and, with it, Malmö’s hopes of beating Nottingham Forest. “I had quite a good chance to score and then they were the better team,” says Kindvall. “But maybe if we had got the first goal, maybe we had a chance. We were very good when we didn’t have the ball ourselves. We had good organisation in the defence. And Forest were very good without the ball as well. It was more difficult for us to play against a team who were more like our team. We played the English way.” Continue reading...

Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche is frustrated after Casemiro's goal from a corner is allowed to stand, but VAR will not be changing to include them in its remit.

Arsenal’s run without conceding goes on, Thomas Frank plays down tensions, and Eddie Howe’s gamble backfires First the P45, then the pints. Vítor Pereira could be excused for having a drink on Sunday after his departure from Wolves, with the silver lining for the Portuguese being a decent payout. It is the fourth mid-season dismissal this campaign. There have never been more permanent sackings in Premier League history at this stage of the year (2 November). And while Evangelos Marinakis might have something to answer for, trigger-happy owners and directors are becoming increasingly erratic: that Pereira lasted just 45 days into a new three-year contract reflects as badly on the Wolves board as on the manager, just as Erik ten Hag’s sacking this time last year, coming less than three months after his own contract extension, reflected badly on the Manchester United hierarchy. Backing a manager and then pulling the rug so quickly is baffling, while a board’s desire for a “new manager bounce” so early in the season stinks of desperation and should be seen as an admission of guilt.

Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Marinakis says he will fund the medical care of any of the club's fans caught up in a mass stabbing incident on a train on Saturday.

BBC Sport looks at why Jamie McDonnell's old-school style has made the Nottingham Forest loanee an instant hit at Mansfield Town.

The midfielder reflects on lessons learned before the reunion with the club he ran close in the FA Cup with Leyton Orient Ethan Galbraith cannot help but smile. He is recounting the final seconds of Swansea’s epic comeback win against Nottingham Forest in the last round of the Carabao Cup, an episode that culminated in him briefly donning a supporter’s spectacles, having retrieved them from the wreckage of a pitch-side pile-on. As the game ticked into the 97th minute, Galbraith cracked the upright with a billowing strike from 25 yards and Cameron Burgess promptly leathered in the rebound before hurtling off towards the East Stand to celebrate, fans mobbing the players. It capped an extraordinary turnaround given Swansea trailed 2-0 midway through the second half. Amid the delirium, there was some collateral damage. “There was a supporter sort of calling out and myself and Keysy [Josh Key] were thinking: ‘What’s he on about here?’” says Galbraith. “Then we saw the glasses. It was a bit of banter putting them on. We are on the pitch as footballers but we’re humans, too, so to have a bit of craic with the fans is always good.” Continue reading...

Bournemouth appear to have unearthed another hidden gem in Eli Junior Kroupi, who scored his fourth goal in three appearances in the Cherries' 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest on Sunday.

⚽️ Latest from Premier League’s 3pm kick-offs and beyond ⚽️ Live scores | Tables | Fixtures | Email Billy Fulham will be glad to go into this weekend with their manager still in place. Marco Silva was strongly linked with the Nottingham Forest job before Sean Dyche got it – and now he’s got to devise a plan to stop Nick Woltemade. Mourinho and Benfica managed to do that in the Champions League on Tuesday but that left Newcastle’s wide players free to roam, as Louise Taylor says: Benfica restricted the Woltemade to one touch inside their box but, ultimately, they could not handle Eddie Howe’s wingers, Anthony Gordon in particular. “We could not compete with their horsepower, their intensity, speed and physicality,” said Mourinho. “This tells me a lot about Newcastle’s true level. They are a team of giants and they have four lightning-fast wingers.” Silva, a compatriot and a friend of Mourinho, has reason to be worried, particularly as Howe says there is “much more to come” from his reshaped side.
